    Different shades of Blue

    Does anyone know what blue color options there are at audi? I liked a blue on an M5 but dont know if audi have an equivalent. Sepang blue is the one everyone talks about most but never saw it in person. The blue i am trying to hunt down is a rich blue which has a very very slight inclination to a dark purple (if that makes any sense).

    Re: Different shades of Blue

    The three blues I know of are

    Jet - a light blue on the cooler side (hints of grey)
    Sepang - a medium/dark blue with a deep hue
    Mugello - a very dark blue on the warmer side (hints of red/purple)

    Mugello is only available as a body color through Audi Exclusive. It's the standard color of the side blades when ordering Sepang. It's also my favorite of the blues, I just wasn't prepared to pay the extra in $$$ and time.

    It sounds like you are talking about Mugello blue as it is a richer color and closer to purple. I have jet blue which is a light blue and is mistaken by a lot of people for grey at night :P

    I actually looked up the colors, doesnt the sepang blue have more of a purple ting to it than the megulla? I like the sepang color more but when light hits it, it seems a different color/lighter blue (which i dont like) :-/

    I haven't notice any purple in Sepang. Mugello definitely has some purple tones depending on the light. That is probably the color you are looking for.

    There are a few here:

    random Sepang Blue pics

    The color is light enough that it does not change as much with ambient light as the darker colors do. The first pic in the set I posted yesterday has areas in the sun. That is about as light as the color gets.

    You can't go wrong with any of the R8 colors so go with your gut I guess.

    If you like blue, both Mugello and Sepang are very nice. Some of the pictures make Mugello look a little bland, but it is a nice deep blue in real life with some interesting hue changes.
